Charlotte ‘Lottie’ Paluszak passed away while in the care of Carinity Fairfield Grange rest home in Queensland on November 11 last year, shocking those closest to her. Her daughters Petra Anderson and Monika Simpson are now trying to piece together clues in search for answers about the 84-year-old’s untimely final days. As clues emerge, including a photograph of a nurse taking a photo of Lottie’s coffin and claims the staff member – who has since been dismissed, was seen doing a ‘happy dance’ at the funeral, the heartbroken family members are only left with more questions. ‘I’ve taken some photos because I’m sending those to family overseas so I don’t know why anyone else would want to take a photo of mum… mum’s coffin?’ said Monika. The family are desperate to learn the truth surrounding the cherished great-grandmother’s untimely death but each new piece of information fails to pinpoint one thing – why their mother is dead.
